Take a couple of products and make your corner into a super trap!

One of the most pervasive problems in recording and listening environments is the problem of bass build up in the corners.  If you want to get the most out of your room, try making your corner into a DIY super trap!

Stuff you’ll need:

• 2’x4’x4” (or 2”)Back-Beveled Sonora® Wall Panel (beveled on the rear to fit corners or a standard panel with angle brackets)
• 48” Bermuda Triangle Trap® or 2 PhaseFOAM™ Bass traps (or a 1’x4’x1” raw fiberglass panel hung across the corner.)
• Foam Adhesive
• Sonora® Mounting brackets

Simple installation instructions:

• Use the adhesive to attach the Foam Bass trap to the wall
• Use the brackets to attach the Sonora® Panel across the corner over the trap

Super simple. Super effective.

As simple as it seems, this method of installing these products is an ideal way to get extra trapping in your corners.  This solution changes the corner density multiple times as the sound waves pass through it –as well as introduces a layer of air space. This installation method takes the strengths of the two products and has them working together to eliminate that build-up of energy in the corners – it literally sucks it up like a sponge!

This simple DIY project is provided as a way for our customers to learn better ways to use our products and get more value out of the products they buy.  If you are looking for more ways to use the products you have, look to Acoustics First for Ideas.  http://www.acousticsfirst.com
